- [Narrator] Now I need to build my stiffening ribs. I'm going to use a similar technique that I did with the bosses. I'm going to insert a body and... I'm going to create a sketch. I'll use the access system that is defining the... outermost or topmost boss here. Just go to the XY plane and select OK. To define these, I'm just going to draw a few lines. So I'll double-click on the line function and come up, and down, and over. To constrain this, you'll notice that when I drew this in, I got these constraints down to the center point here off of my sketch. And I'm going to go ahead and show these mounting points real quick. So my mounting point three, way over here, and just constrain to these points. Last thing I need to do is constrain the lengths of these ribs. So to do so, I'm just going to go into my B-Side. I'm going to show this boundary. Remember, that boundary's off of the original surface and it's a stable element, so I just dimension back to the boundary itself. Now, as I…
